Chapter 463: Secret Meeting in the Suburbs
The Seventh Prince said angrily, "It's easy for you to say that. The person lying in there is not your mother."
He Jingheng glanced at him and said, "Since Ruoyi said she can be saved, then she can definitely be saved. You just have to wait quietly."
Hearing him say this, the Seventh Prince slowly felt relieved. At this moment, the door of the room was opened, and Shang Ruoyi said softly, "Okay."
The seventh prince stood up instantly and rushed into the hall.
He Jingheng walked up to her, looked at her slightly pale face, and said worriedly: "Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
Shang Ruoyi shook her head: "It's okay, just a little tired." She didn't know if it was her illusion, but bringing Concubine Qing into the space for treatment had consumed a lot of her energy, so much so that now she even had difficulty moving her fingers.
Seeing that she was tired, He Jingheng said softly, "Do you want to go back and rest?"
"Okay." She turned to the Seventh Prince and said, "I've already given her medicine. She won't wake up in the next few days. If she shows signs of fever, give her this pill." She pointed to the porcelain bottle on the table and said weakly, "If there are other things that can't be solved, come to the palace to find me."
"I need no words to thank you for your kindness." The Seventh Prince bowed and said, "I will repay you with a gift of grass and a ring."
Shang Ruoyi smiled and walked out the door.
He Jingheng frowned and protected her closely behind her.
As soon as she left the Seventh Prince's Mansion, she saw two familiar faces.
"Father." Shang Ruoyi grinned: "Why are you here?"
The King of the City's gaze fell on He Jingheng, his eyes full of coldness.
Seeing this, Shang Ruoyi took a step forward and blocked her father's gaze.
"Father."
The King of the City saw this and looked helpless. It is said that girls should not be kept when they grow up, but who could tolerate the fact that the daughter he had just found was not only married but also her husband came to him. Isn't this trying to steal his daughter?
"You look bad, go to the carriage and rest."
"It's okay. It's not that far. Why do you need father and brother to come and pick you up in person? If others knew, I don't know how they would laugh at you."
The King of the City smiled and said, "If possible, I am willing to take care of you for the rest of my life." After he finished speaking, his eyes fell on He Jingheng again, "It's better than letting someone else take care of you."
"Yes, Ruoyi, go and have a rest in the carriage." Jun Zeqian smiled and said, "There are cakes and pastries in the carriage. If you are hungry, eat some."
"Okay." Shang Ruoyi nodded helplessly, gave He Jingheng a look that told him to wish him the best, and walked towards the carriage.
The King of the City got on his horse, looked at He Jingheng and said, "Why did I send you to follow the Princess without knowing when?"
He Jingheng had a slight smile on his face: "Your Majesty, you tend to forget things. I have been following the princess for a long time."
The City King tightened the reins in his hands and sneered, "Really? Perhaps I forgot, but from now on, you are no longer needed to protect the princess. Go somewhere else!"
"I'm afraid this is beyond your control, Your Highness the City King."
"you!"
"It's getting late today, so I won't bother you anymore. I will definitely visit you another day."
The King of the City snorted coldly: "Let's talk about it later." After he finished speaking, he clamped his legs on the horse's belly and rode away.
Shang Ruoyi returned to the palace and hurried to the side of the King of the City: "Father, are you angry?"
The King of the City turned his face away and said in a deliberately cold voice, "How can a father be angry? His own daughter is about to be kidnapped by another brat. I have already done him a great favor by not breaking his legs today."
"Father, I was already married before I met you!" Shang Ruoyi took his arm and said, "You can't be unreasonable! Everything should be based on first come first served. In my opinion, it is He Jingheng who should be angry."
"You little girl, why are you so unreasonable? Who is being unreasonable? If you say so, the one who married into Dingguo Palace was Shang Ruoyi, the concubine of the Shang family, but you are now my daughter, my princess, the legitimate daughter of the Jun family, and not the Crown Prince's Consort of Dingguo Palace at all. He Jingheng wants to marry you, but he can't do it with this attitude."
Shang Ruoyi held her forehead with her hand. She finally realized who she inherited her unreasonable bad habit from.
"Father."
"No discussion." The King of the City waved his hand and said, "Even if you want the stars and the moon, your father will find a way to pick them for you and present them to you. But this is not possible!" After he finished speaking, he walked straight to his yard.
Shang Ruoyi was too lazy to argue with him today. Her body had reached its limit, so she went back to the yard to rest.
Jun Zeqian came to the city king's room and whispered, "Father."
"explain."
"What do you think about the marriage between He Jingheng and Ruoyi? Among the four countries, He Jingheng is already the best candidate. You had thought of letting Jun Luoyun marry into the Dingguo Palace before, but why are you unwilling to do so now that it comes to Ruoyi?"
The Prince of City sighed, "It's not that I don't want to. The world is not peaceful right now, and the Dingguo Palace is the first to be affected. An informant reported that the southern border is ready to move, and the Beiling border has also begun to mobilize troops frequently. It's only a matter of time before the army approaches. The Prince of City's Palace is not peaceful, and the Dingguo Palace is even more so. If she is sent back to the Dingguo Palace, according to her personality, she will definitely worry about the world's peace. It's better for her to stay in the palace. Even if she risks her life, her father will protect her." He looked at Jun Zeqian and said in a cold voice, "Don't put your mind elsewhere. There are still a lot of things waiting for you to deal with in the palace. There are many affairs in the army. If the prince summons you, you should not leave the barracks unless it's important, just in case."
Jun Zeqian was startled when he heard this, and whispered, "My son knows."
Coming out of his yard, Jun Zeqian looked at the sky outside, his eyes flickering. He took a few steps towards his yard, then turned and walked towards the gate.
"My Lord, the prince has left the palace."
The City King put down the robe in his hand and said in a cold voice: "Follow this evil creature. If the situation gets bad, tie him up and bring him back to me!"
At this time, another secret guard came in and said, "My Lord, the princess has also left the palace. Looking at the direction she is heading, she is chasing after the prince."
"What?" He stood up and said anxiously, "Why did that little ancestor come to join in the fun? Why don't you send someone to protect the princess?"
"Your Highness, the princess's own guards have already caught up. They are very fast, and our secret guards have not caught up."
Jun Zeqian's figure shuttled over the Western Regions, and after a while, he arrived at a forest on the outskirts of the city.
Not far ahead, a woman in a pink cloak was waiting there.
"Agan!" When Concubine Xiao saw the person coming, her eyes lit up and she called out in a low voice, "You're finally here." She moved lightly, stepped forward and said, "I thought, I thought you weren't coming!" As soon as she finished speaking, she wanted to hold Jun Zegan's arm.
